Uneven terrain conditions cause the left front wheel of the all-wheel-drive vehicle to lose traction with the ground. If the driver causes the traction forces shown to be generated by the other three wheels while his two friends exert the indicated forces on the vehicle periphery at points E and F, determine the resultant of this system and the x- and y-intercepts of its line of action. Note that the front and rear tracks of the vehicle are equivalent; that is,

- The three forces of magnitude P can be replaced by a single, equivalent force R acting at point A. Determine the distance x and the magnitude and direction of R.arrow_forwardThe force F=5i+12j+4k lb is applied to the handle of the door. Determine the orthogonal component of F that is perpendicular to the plane of the door.arrow_forwardThe force-couple system consists of the force R=250i+360j400kN and the couple-vector CR=1200i+750j+560kNm. Determine the equivalent wrench and find the coordinates of the point where the axis of the wrench crosses the xy-plane.arrow_forward
- When the three forces are replaced by an equivalent force-couple system with the force at point O, the couple vector CR is directed parallel to the x-axis. Determine F and the resultant force-couple system.arrow_forwardThe two forces of magnitude F=30kN form a couple. Determine the corresponding couple-vector.arrow_forwardThe two forces are applied to the end of the boom OA. Determine the force F so that the resultant of the two forces lies in the yz-plane.arrow_forward
- Three forces and a clockwise torque act on the circular plate. If the resultant is a force R passing through point D, calculate P and R.arrow_forwardthe couple C and four forces. If the resultant of this system is a 750 N.m counterclockwise couple, determine P, Q and Carrow_forwardIf the resultant (single equivalent force) of the two forces and couple M passes through point O, determine M.arrow_forward
